BEST ANSWER:Mine are glued in, I think they can be ripped out but probably won't be usable again. If you need support you should get the the keds with the thicker rubber on the bottom. The keds with the thin rubber do not give very much support even with the insert, the thinker rubber keds are much better.

The ones I have are glued in and I'm sure you can remove them with some effort but probably won't be able to use that insole again. These shoes have a thin sole so if you need shoe support I would get the keds with the thicker sole, they have so much more support.
